I envy you people with your normal sized hands sometimes. Small devices fit comfortably in your hands. In contrast, I can palm a basketball. That is hold it with one hand, palm down. Bad eyes are just one reason for wanting the bigger model! |
You hit the nail on the head. People seem to be obvious to the fact that some of us have large hands. I liked the N64 and original Xbox controllers because they were large. While everyone bitched about them being too big they were right up my alley. When it comes to controllers, Nintendo has managed to make smaller designs that are still comfortable for extended use. Their portable consoles don't share that attribute. I could put an GBA SP in the palm of one of my hands reach all of the buttons with that one hand. While playing that way for the bulk of the GBA's lineup was not feasible. Putting my two catcher's mitts on it for proper play was an invitation for cramp city. I skipped the DSL and the DSi because my DS Phat wasn't as comfortable as I liked and it revisions were smaller. It stopped buying DS games because of this.
